Character Design Brief
A high energy startup in stealth mode is seeking an exemplary Graphic Designer with broad technical skills to help us build a next generation of Social Gaming 2.0 Platform. The team is made up by dedicated individuals who have held leadership positions in some of the world's leading online companies. If interested in the opportunity, the winner of this contest would be in a position to join the team as the lead graphic/web designer. Alternatively, other larger/more complex projects could be requested from the winning designer.
Assignment:
The assignment is to create the graphics for a Chocolate(it could be dark or white chocolate) truffle character. We will also need the truffle character to be animated in the form of animated gifs/jpgs. The animations should show certain emotions such as joy, sadness, boredom, etc. This character would be very visible within the homepage so it is important that it looks appealing to the user.
- The size of the graphic should be about 50 pixels by 50 pixels.
- The style will be cartoonish/2D. With the target market being non-hardcore gamer the graphics should be on the cuter side. As a good example of the type of image we’re looking for, see popular iPhone games Angry Birds and Cut the Robe(see link below for example).
